OA is C...why not B?

i am not really sure but i think B is not correct because of parallelism.

Hi Sankruth,
I'm a lilttle confused here, although C seems fine because polluting should make the senetence parallel, however

and its cargo of its cargo of 750000 gallons leaked into the ocean, polluting

its cargo of its cargo: this seems to be redundant & awkward

Can you please confirm that there is not typo in the post.

Thanks

Hi Danielle, can you please provide your comments on this one. Thanks

B) with its cargo of 750000 gallons leaking into the ocean, and it polluted it reference unclear
C) and its cargo of 750000 gallons leaked into the ocean, polluting

I agree with Sujay,

if C is worded as

and its cargo of 750000 gallons leaked into the ocean, polluting

the it is correct coz it maintains parallelism & avoids superficial parellelism.

Wat's wrong in D???

IMO : C
